Cypress is skipping the 2nd command and moving straight to intercept. i know there might be an issue with the way i'm trying to click the button, any help with that will also be much appreciated

cy.get($butn)

is incorrect. You probably meant to say

cy.wrap($btn)

tried it but still the same

Ok, in that case, it is the condition. I think

.is('enabled')

is valid jQuery, I think it should be the opposite

is(':disabled')

, but I will make an example tomorrow to put at my https://glebbahmutov.com/cypress-examples/recipes/conditional-testing.html#click-a-button-if-not-disabled

Thank you very much @gray-kilobyte-89541 your example works 🙌
